Website Founder/President:
Larry Barnett
My name is Larry Barnett. I am a Veteran of the Saigon "Frequent Wind"
Evacuation, as well as a part of the assault force of Koh Tang island May 15,
1975, for what was to be a rescue of the crew of the SeaLand container ship SS
Mayaguez.
This project is an ongoing one, and represents all I have found out thus far
about the SS Mayaguez rescue operation and Koh Tang(Tang Island) assault in May,
1975. Check back for new and interesting items!
We have a VFW Post. Post 11575 is dedicated to the Mayaguez and her
participants. The post site is under construction as well as mine. If you are
not a member, please contact me for further info on how to join. Thanks Monte
for the great jump.
